include your original registration as well, and you've done 76 Tinker wu's to date!
Yes but I've only stopped using the -advmethods flag for the past month on the Aussie username and two machines are using the graphical client with no flags whatsoever so the Aussie username statistics are confusing.
The Aussie_Challenge & Aussie_Dual usernames have not used the -advmethods flags at all so that data is "pure".
One thing I have noticed is that the slower AMD machines (Duron 800 & Athlon 800) are more likely to get Tinkers than the faster machines with or without the -advmethods flag. Also the Celeron 950 very rarely, if ever, gets a Tinker yet it is running the graphical client with no flags at all.
Here's some extracts from FAHlog.txt & FAHlog-Prev.txt files as an example, these are the most recent WU's from each machine:-

As you can see the Athlon has received Tinkers exclusively with or without the -advmethods flag and the Celeron has received Gromacs exclusively despite having no flags at all.
AMD machines apparently handle Tinkers far better than Intel machines so I'm wondering if tinkers are targeted at AMD machines.
